Fogaskerékbl

Fogaskerékbl is a Hungarian term that translates directly to "gear wheel" or "cogwheel" in English. It refers to a mechanical component that has teeth or cogs on its circumference. These teeth are designed to engage with the teeth of another gear wheel, allowing for the transmission of rotational motion and torque from one shaft to another.

The primary function of a fogaskerékbl is to alter the speed, torque, or direction of rotation. When two fogaskerékbls mesh, the smaller one will rotate faster but with less torque, while the larger one will rotate slower but with more torque. This principle is fundamental to many mechanical systems, from simple clocks and toys to complex industrial machinery and vehicles.

Fogaskerékbls can be made from various materials, including metal, plastic, and wood, depending on the application and the forces they are expected to withstand. They come in different shapes and sizes, with variations in tooth profile, pitch (the distance between teeth), and face width, all of which affect their performance and how they mesh with other gears. The term is a common part of mechanical engineering vocabulary in Hungary.
